Servings: 12 pretzel rods
Ingredients
- 1 bag microwave popcorn roughly 10 cups of popped popcorn
- 12 pretzel rods
- 3/4 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 tbsp vegetable oil
- sprinkles
Instructions
- Pour your popped popcorn into a shallow bowl or pie plate, making sure to remove any unpopped kernels, and set aside.
- Spread 1 tablespoon of peanut butter on each pretzel rod, leaving a few inches at the bottom to act as a “handle” without peanut butter.
- Press and roll the popcorn onto the peanut butter to coat, then place the popcorn coated pretzel rods onto baking sheets lined with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
- In a microwave safe bowl, combine the chocolate chips and vegetable oil, then microwave in 30 second intervals, stirring in-between, until melted and smooth.
- Transfer the melted chocolate into a ziploc bag, cut off one end, then drizzle the melted chocolate on top of the popcorn.
- Decorate with sprinkles of your choice, then transfer to the fridge to let the chocolate harden before serving.
